Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers recap for Friday, September 3, reveals that Ciara Brady Weston (Victoria Konefal) had a baby bomb for Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson) while Bonnie Lockhart’s (Judi Evans) cash grab went wrong. Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) also confessed to Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford), so here’s how Friday’s DOOL drama went down.
In the woods, Ben and Ciara enjoyed camping as they read from the poetry book Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) gave them.
After talking about their trip to New Orleans, Ciara and Ben had breakfast – though Ben said it could use some hot sauce.
Ciara went rummaging through her bag for the sauce and realized she was out of birth control. When Ben suggested they could just get the prescription filled at a pharmacy, Ciara asked what if they didn’t.
Although Ben was confused initially, Ciara clarified exactly what she meant. “What I’m saying is…what if we have a baby?” Ciara asked a stunned Ben.
Back in Salem on Friday’s Days episode, Gwen read a scathing editorial that Jack wrote about Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) getting off “scot” free with the help of his despicable lawyer, EJ DiMera (Dan Feurriegel).
Gwen wondered how Jack could make Xander out to be a monster, but Jack asked why she was defending him.
After Gwen said she knew what it was like to be destitute and desperate, Jack refused to back down. In fact, Jack was hoping to uncover more with his journalists at the paper and hopefully get the charges reinstated.
Gwen argued that the DiMeras could come after Jack – specifically ruthless EJ. However, Jack kept going on and on about how guilty Xander was.
Gwen finally piped up that she was the guilty one, not Xander.
Gwen explained that she was running drugs for Dr. Clay Snyder (Michael Lowry), who dropped dead right in front of them after Xander had stepped up to defend her.
Gwen knew Jack must think she was a terrible person, but he said he was just confused and asked why she would agree to run drugs for Snyder in the first place.
Jack eventually decided Gwen was lying to get him to print a retraction.
Jack didn’t understand this total turnaround since Gwen previously hated Xander, but then remembered Julie Williams’ (Susan Seaforth Hayes) catching Gwen and Xander in a passionate moment.
Gwen stood by her claim that it was a momentary lapse in judgment, but she also insisted she was guilty of running the drugs – that she had no choice because she was being blackmailed.
Jack then demanded to know what Dr. Snyder had on Gwen.
In bed, Bonnie had a nightmare that Calista Lockhart (Cady Huffman) showed Justin Kiriakis (Wally Kurth) the gun she used to kill her husband with.
“You’re a killer! I’m not marrying you!” Justin shouted in the dream – and then Bonnie woke up in a panic.
Justin reassured Bonnie that everything would be fine at the wedding, but Calista showed up for real and offered a blue handkerchief of her late husband’s as the something blue.
Bonnie turned it down before speaking with Calista alone. Calista made it clear that Bonnie needed to steal Xander’s $1 million or else she’d show Justin that gun and prove his bride-to-be is a murderer.
In Xander’s hotel room, he had flashbacks of his steamy encounter with Gwen before EJ showed up.
EJ wanted his money, but Xander stood his ground on wanting his job at Titan back first. After EJ warned there better not be a penny missing or he’d have the charges filed again, he promised to be back.
At Basic Black, EJ found Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker) and insisted he wanted her to rehire Xander. He pushed for a contract with the same terms as before, but Nicole said it wasn’t happening.
Nicole pointed out they had total autonomy when it came to their hiring decisions, but EJ threatened to fire Nicole and forced her to sign off on Xander’s contract.
In Xander’s hotel room again, he was surprised when Bonnie arrived.
Bonnie claimed she was there to invite Xander to the wedding, but he found it odd that she’d show up a couple hours before the nuptials and deliver this invitation in person.
However, Bonnie maintained that she wanted Xander to be there and convinced him to shower, which allowed Bonnie to sneak back in using the keycard she swiped.
Bonnie started loading up all the cash into her bag, but EJ suddenly started banging on the door and called out for Xander.
After Xander shut off the shower and told EJ to hold his horses, Bonnie looked frantic over the situation she was stuck in.
Meanwhile, Calista ranted to Justin about her husband’s murderer getting away with it. Justin suggested that in time, Calista would learn to focus more on the future.
Calista said she’d drink to that and let Justin take Bonnie’s left-behind makeup bag to Kayla Brady’s (Mary Beth Evans) place since she was already tipsy.
At home, Kayla battled a hangover as she talked to Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) about Bonnie’s strange behavior at the bachelorette party last night.
Instead of bubbling over with excitement, Bonnie kept throwing back shots and was clearly bothered by something.
Kayla explained that it was about Bonnie’s former sister-in-law, but she wasn’t sure about the details.
After Steve left on Thursday’s Days episode, Justin showed up with Bonnie’s makeup bag and was taken aback to learn she wasn’t there. As for Steve, he found a flirty Calista at the Kiriakis mansion.
“Well, hey! Looks like it’s just you and me big boy,” Calista said. We’ll keep you posted as other Days news and updates come in.
Days of Our Lives spoilers say spoilers say Steve will try to find out more about Calista’s past soon, so stay tuned.
